In January-April, aluminum exports grew 4.7-fold YoY, from 16,000 to 75,400 tons, the Industry and Construction Ministry reported.
Kazakhstan’s exports increased, since aluminum demand in Azerbaijan grew 8-fold, from 5,500 to 43,100 tons, 10.5-fold in Uzbekistan, from 200 tons to 2,100 tons, and due to the expansion of sales geography to countries such as Belarus, Bulgaria, Italy and Poland.
